You should try the 'trick' that Mrs C uses
Buy whatever you want, then when when Rob says "is this new?"
Simply reply, "this old thing??? had it for ages"

Already use that ! Even when it is an old thing from the wardrobe, worn many times he says " is that new" that's how observant he is! Sometimes I say " my sister gave it me as an early birthday prezzie"

Brought one on Amazon on say so of Robert having said was ideal for motorhome - it arrived today - it's huge - will never fit in the hymer sink
Guess will have to send it back, mind you looks good - if you have a large sink would be perfect.

Sorry it doesn't fit your sink
Did you measure it before ordering?
The product description on Lakeland states 34cm (13 in) diameter - is this correct?
Fits our Carthago sink perfectly

Having a pvc we are limited for space and the adhesive hooks that attached the drainer to the glass sink lid came unstuck, so I put a thick tea towel on top of cooker glas top and allow dishes and pans to drain on to it. Dry up and put away, hang damp towel over oven handle to dry until next wanted. This means a tea towel has two uses, an important factor when space is a premium.
I was advised early in my mhing to seriously consider how much I needed an item if it did not have more than a single use.

If I am not careful get plates stuck in sink and have to use a little sucker to pull them out! (Not my husband!)
We tried the small simple human drainer ..... a similar concept (again not husband) but I prefer the drainer space and a flat pebble / silicone mat.
